New "Listeners also subscribed to" column in Podcasts

Have you noticed that there is a new column "Listeners also subscribed to" for podcasts in the iTMS?
I find it makes the Podcast Description look "scrunched" up, and takes away from the uniqueness of the individual podcasts. It also runs the risk of associating podcasts which are contrary or undesirable with the podcast.
It's an interesting experiment, but I don't like it. I've sent feedback to the iTMS. Maybe a different placement? Under the Podcast Description? Or the ability to not have it there at all?

The iTunes Store methods of ranking and organizing podcasts are pretty opaque: I think your expanation is likely to be close. It's pretty irritating that the Store doesn't provide any indication whatsoever of the statistics: this Apple Tech note suggests a method which depends on your server offering php:

though I've no experience with implementing this and I don't know how well it might work.

  • Podcast: Listeners also subscribed panel not present

    Hi,
    I have a fortnightly podcast Called Tektronic. http://itunes.apple.com/gb/podcast/tektronic-the-beginning/id486329726
    We have be getting quiet a lot downloads each month but still do not have the 'Listeners also subscribed to' panel on the podcast page.
    Why is this?

    Does no one have an answer to this?????

  • Not appearing in "Listeners Also Subscribed To"

    Until recently, my podcast appeared in the "Listeners also subscribed to" section of many similar podcasts. Now overnight it has disappeared from all of them. My podcast is doing well and I know listeners of those other podcasts didn't all suddenly stop listening to mine from one day to the next.
    Anyone know of anything I can do to fix this?
    My podcast is at http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast//id382998388
    Thanks!
    Jason

    There must either be a glitch in the algorithm, or I inadvertently changed something that caused me to disappear from other's lists.
    I know it's an error, because I have two versions of the same podcast (one AAC and one MP3). Even though the MP3 version has way fewer subscribers (about 1/50th the amount), it's still appearing in the "also subscribed" lists of some other podcasts, while the main AAC version has disappeared from all of them.

  • "Listeners Also Subscribed To" question

    I have just started podcasting. The host of the content does not provide metrics, so I have no idea how many people are actually listening to the show. However in the iTunes store I see that in my podcast the "Listeners Also Subscribed To" box is full of podcasts with similar content. So I assume this is a good thing? At least someone has subscribed to the show.
    But when I click on the shows that are referenced in that section, I do not see my podcast listed in their "listeners also subscribed to" section. Is this just a question of math? i.e. their shows have more listeners than mine, therefore it is harder to break in to the top five "listeners also subscribed to" on their page?
    Any insights you can give in to how the "listeners also subscribed to" is generated is appreciated. I am pretty much going nuts because I can't see metrics on our podcast!

  • Listeners also subscribed to

    I see this with links to other sites on my podcast and others, how does this work, do subscribers add other links or are the links generated by I Tunes?

    I have three podcasts. The first two the Listener Also Subscribed To appeared automatically with no problem. However, on the third one after three weeks it has not yet appeared and according to my service provider stats the third podcast has three times the listeners of the second podcast I launched. Many of the three podcasts listeners subscribe to all three so I expected it to pop up fairly quickly. However, after three week's it hasn't appeared yet. Is there any other options I might have to getting it working besides waiting for it to automatically taking place?
    Any advice would be appreciated.
    Thanks

  • Listeners Also Subscribers To Box

    On the podcast page in the I tunes store. How does the podcasts in the box get there? Are they added by subscribers or is it done differently?

    No, I've submitted a podcast and it works fine. One the right side of the podcast page there is a box labeled "Listeners also subscribe to", There is only one Podcast in the box and I was wondering how other got in the category. I subscribe to my own podcast as well as others, along with friends of mine, and they don't show up?

  • HT1689 I subscribe to my video podcasts but some of them either has a small red E next to them and won't download new content or some just doesn't download new content. I have been watching the Rachael Maddow video podcast for at least a month with no pro

    I subscribe to my video podcasts but some of them either has a small red E next to them and won't download new content or some just doesn't download new content. I have been watching the Rachael Maddow video podcast for at least a month with no problems. Now suddenly it won't download the last nights show. I have read and followed all troubleshoot and cannot find a solution. I have unsubscribed and re-subscribed to no avail. Can someone help me with this problem?

    And now that my contract has expired, I have some options.  Last weekend, I called Verizon again threatening to leave.  The representative offered the same $75 rebate that was offered to me 6 months earlier.  I even offered up one of my device upgrades in place of a network extender, but that deal was knocked down.  And so now I’m left with the option to make a public spectacle out of this scenario and hope Verizon takes notice.  Failing that, I’ll be forced to leave Verizon behind.
    I don't understand. If having service in your home IS important to you and you already know Verizon's policy, why have you not instead started to search for carriers which cover your home? It seems a pretty easy decision to me, at least.

  • HT4914 My pc which I have iTunes on is dead, but all my music is also on my iPad, if I buy a new pc and subscribe to match can I easily download the content back to the new pc

    Hello My pc is dead and all my music is now only on my iPad with no other back up....if I buy a new pc and subscribe to iTunes match, will it let me download the content back to my pc easily ?

    iTunes Match can only be subscibed to, and upload music from, a computer - you won't be able to do it from your iPad.
    You should be able to copy the music back from your iPad to a new computer, and you may find these two pages useful for doing so :
    syncing to a new computer : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3141
    recovering content from a device : https://discussions.apple.com/docs/DOC-3991
    Music purchased from iTunes can be copied to a computer's iTunes via File > Devices > Transfer Purchases, and for music from other sources (e.g. copied from CDs) there are some programs listed half-way down that second article that should be able to copy them back.

  • Get OLD&NEW value of an UPDATED column selected dynamically in a Trigger

    Hi All,
    I am writting a trigger which take column name dynamically. And on the basis of that column it should give me old value as well as updated value of a column corresponding to a modified row.
    OOO_SCHEDULE is my table name;
    Note: This is only for test so I am writting only for update not for insert and delete.
    create or replace trigger "OOO_SCHEDULE_AUDIT"
    BEFORE
    insert or update or delete on "OOO_SCHEDULE"
    for each row
    begin
    DECLARE
    v_username varchar2(30);
    AUDIT_EMP_ID varchar2(30);
    AUDIT_EMP_ID_NEW varchar2(30);
    v_Column_name VARCHAR(30);
    v_stmt1 VARCHAR(40);
    v_stmt2 VARCHAR(40);
    CURSOR C1 is
    select COLUMN_NAME from user_tab_columns where table_name='OOO_SCHEDULE';
    BEGIN
    OPEN c1;
    LOOP
    FETCH c1 into v_Column_name;
    EXIT WHEN c1%NOTFOUND;
    v_stmt1:=('OLD.'||v_Column_name);
    v_stmt2:=('NEW.'||v_Column_name);
    AUDIT_EMP_ID:=v_stmt1;
    AUDIT_EMP_ID_NEW:=v_stmt2;
    INSERT INTO TEMPTEST VALUES(v_stmt1);
    INSERT INTO TEMPTEST VALUES(AUDIT_EMP_ID);
    END LOOP;
    CLOSE c1;
    END;
    end;
    Suppose OOO_EMP_NAME is the column name where user made the change.
    If i do like this..
    AUDIT_EMP_ID:=OLD.OOO_EMP_NAME;
    AUDIT_EMP_ID_NEW:=NEW.OOO_EMP_NAME;
    Then it is working fine because I have given column name statically. But I want the column name to be selected dynamically and I am able to do it through cursor. Also I am able to fetch all column names in v_Column_name variable one by one dyanamically for the cursor.
    But by executing these statements
    AUDIT_EMP_ID:=v_stmt1;
    AUDIT_EMP_ID_NEW:=v_stmt2;
    I am getting OLD.OOO_EMP_NAME and NEW.OOO_EMP_NAME rather then old and new values of the updated column.
    Please help me identifying the problem, where I am doing the mistake? What is the correct way to execute these statements? So that I can get old and new values of the column (updated column).
    I have tried it by passing in a procedure also but don't know how to execute this dynamic statement to get the old and new values.
    Thanks,
    Ishrat.

    In the given link, column name has been selected statically. But i want that column name should be selected daynamically throgh loop and then check the
    condition for any update corresponding to that column value. I don't want to write as many if condition as the no. of column name. I just want one if condition for all column namesDon't be lazy. Write all column names into your trigger. Or use a way to create the trigger "dynamically".
    What is the problem that you have with static column names? "I don't want to write many..." is not a problem, but an opinion.

  • I have new ipad2 and the iTunes have only podcasts and iTunes U options. I simply can't download music or vidoes. Please help!

    i have new ipad2 and the iTunes have only podcasts and iTunes U options. I simply can't download music or vidoes. Please help!

    Not all content types are available in all countries, and unfortunately where you are you will only have apps, podcasts, iTunes U and free books - the full list of what is available where is shown on this page : http://support.apple.com/kb/TS3599 . As the terms of use of the stores state that you can only use your own country's store, you also can't get music or films from Apple from other country's stores.
    Are there other music and/or film purchase download sites that you can use in the UAE ? For music you can also copy your own CDs and sync them to the iPad

    Notes: The RSS feed of the podcast works just fine. When I enter the podcast URL into the firefox bar, I am prompted and am able to access the page. The problem is with iTunes not giving me the prompt.

    i got iphone 5S and i live in pakistan .. my itunes is not working in country when i open it , it shows two columns of podcast and itunes U what to do?

    You won't be able to download music, films or TV programmes from iTunes until either they are available in Pakistan (which will need a sufficient number of content providers to grant Apple a license to sell their content there), or you move to a country where they are sold. Are there other music purchase downloads sites in Pakistan ? You can also copy your own music CDs via your computer's iTunes (so you could buy CDs and copy them) and sync them to your phone.

  • With new iTunes 11 how do you restart podcasts that used to regular pause

    With new iTunes 11 how do you restart podcasts that used to regular pause?
    Before iTunes 11, a symbol would appear in individual podcast lists showing that the sender requires you to confirm that you still wish to receive their podcast. This used to occur with all my BBC podcasts once a week usually at the weekend.
    Now with iTunes 11 this control seems to have disappeared. Tried all the new icons but nothing seems to do this.
    Now (as its Saturday) all my BBC podcasts have stopped as there appears no way to reconfirm that I still want to automatically receive them.
    Please help!

    Here are typical layouts for the iTunes folders:
    With iTunes 11 you might also have a Home Videos folder inside iTunes Media.
    In the simplest cases you copy the entire iTunes folder from <User's Music> on the source computer to <User's Music> on the target machine, install iTunes, and it "just works"TM.
    If the media folder (inside the red outline) has been split out to a separate location then you can copy the library folder (outside the red outline) as before and connect the drive holding the media so that it has exactly the same path as before. If the drive appears as D: on one system and E: on the other then the library won't be able to find the media.
    The crucial file is iTunes Library.itl - this contains a record of the tracks that have been added to the library, ratings, play counts, playlists etc.
